News and Weather (Standard android app as of 2.2)
This has pretty much replaced The Weather Channel as my 'goto' weather app.
Plus it's news aggregator is very nice for quick over views.
When you want more general stuff than what you get in an RSS feed.
Beyond Pod (Purchased)
Handles all my RSS reading as well as Podcasts, highly recommended!

I actually subscribe to their pay service so I can get channel caching.
Still lots of bugs in the service but I like it the best.

A pretty nice way to browse NPR stories and setup a play list to listen to on your drive time.
Still kinda buggy, but workable.

Their app is fairly new, but it does a good job and it is much nicer than the web app.
